The word random and all of its derivatives (rands, randoms, randiferous, randtastic) is old school.  Let’s move on to entropy and its derivatives.

Today was an entropitous day.  On my walk to the bus (aside: I think the public transit system in Vancouver is great) I walk by a small field that is infested with the most cuddly, furry, cutesy dutesy wild rabbits.  There are several tiny ones so I take it they just finished a mating cycle.  Unfortunately, I saw one strewn across the road with its insides freshly squeezed by the wheel of a thousand-plus pound automobile.  I didn’t take a photo of that one.

I went to school to get some housekeeping done and the lady helping me out kindly said that it would take a week or so until I would hear a response from them.

I walked out and catched Ant walking into his lab.  I told him I had a daypass and was going to roam around.

I then decided to give Mumta a call because she wanted to hang out.  I walk around Gastown to kill time and tell her to go all the way to Waterfront.  I walk around and just catch the steam clock whistling.

She brought along Mel (はじめまして) and we go to Lonsdale Quay (pronounce that).

Here’s some food for thought for those that have been on the Seabus.  Why on earth does the emergency hatch lead below levels?  If, worst-case scenario, the ship were to sink, wouldn’t you want to head up to higher ground rather than go towards where there is water?

We grab a bite, eat some ice cream, go to Robson, and meet up entripitously with their friend Camille (はじめまして) and spend her break in the world-famous Starbucks across from the Starbucks.

Everybody parts ways and I come home to watch the Celtics come-back after being down 20 in the third quarter.

Good times all around.

Good afternoon everyone.  Starfield, Bethany Dillon, Shane and Shane, and David Nasser will be returning to Metro Vancouver on June 6.  The venue is still the same.

Tickets will be honored there.  If you can’t make the date refunds will also be honored.

Ticket holders should be receiving an email with the details.

bring on the exams

April 14, 2008

Hello everyone.  To my brothers and sisters who have finished another year of school, stellar job folks.  Let’s kick some exam ass and then go off to our summer jobs/school/travels/lack-of-the-formers.  This is a placeholder post because I’ll more likely than not be occupied until the 29th of April when UBC’s exam schedule will release me from its merciless clutches.

Godspeed girls and guys.

Note: there is a video in this post and the video is pretty funny, depending on if you like funny things.

The use of term the net cafe is short-lived.  Nowadays, Internet access is ubiquitous with a great deal of the access coming from coffee shops.  Starbucks has pay-for-play use and many other small neighbourhood cafes (like Soma in its prime and the Waves franchise here in Metro Vancouver) provide free access.  Well not really free because you do have to buy something (gotta love capitalism and how it rewrites definitions).

Notebook computers are also as ubiquitous as internet access.  For example, in my house are five people–my dad, my mom, my sister, my grandpops and myself.  In my house at an average point in time are also five computers.  So, technically, 100 percent of the people in my household have a computer.  Guess how many people know how to use a computer.  Yes, you guessed correctly.  Three people.  So do the math.  5 divided by 3.  There are 1.6 computers for every computer user in my household.  Daunting.  Mind you, only three of the five computers are notebook computers…  ONLY.

<note to self> remember to tell story about how mom wants to use a computer. </note to self>

Some people are less fortunate.  How do you take advantage of free wireless internet access when you don’t have a notebook computer.  Of course!  Why didn’t I think of that.  And so the long-winded segue into this video ends:
